Tropics expanding due to climate change: study

BULLSHIT!

[SpinnerWebb]

Exactly.

The "tropics" are defined as follows:



1trop·ic
Pronunciation: \ˈträ-pik\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English tropik, from Latin tropicus of the solstice, from Greek tropikos, from tropē turn Date: 1527
1: either of the two parallels of terrestrial latitude at a distance of about 231⁄2 degrees north or south of the equator where the sun is directly overhead when it reaches its most northerly or southerly point in the sky — compare tropic of cancer, tropic of capricorn

2plural often capitalized : the region lying between the tropics

I *highly* doubt that the Earth has shifted in it's rotation such that the sun is now directly over an expanded zone at each solstice.

These people are idiots. Words have MEANING.
